If your after a sport ride, seats are comfy but no side bolsters, drive train has plenty of power but slow shifting in Sport mode* Keeps a good compromise of suspension compliance with the large rims, between highway ride (quiet and overall smooth) and city handling (composed).
-Hatch can be difficult to keep clean w/o black carpet
-2010 model without memory function seats, difficult finding the last sweet spot after my wife is behind the wheel.
-Sometimes difficult to see small back up monitor (non GPS model) otherwise switchgear ergonomics is easy to see, used with some reaching. Dash fit was forgotten in some locations.
-Winter use: Hot seat heat! Stability control is liberal and keeps you safe with early intervention to keep you on your intended direction. Saved me!
-Operational costs, lots of power, fair gas mileage trade off, however 20" rims render the low profile tire renew Expensive.
-Tire low pressure sensor lacks info as indicator signals low without location of the tire.
Car has not failed me!
